Progger, of course. I do enjoy more music, though.

"Progger" always reminds me of Frogger.

About 3/4 of my collection in my very broad definition of prog that includes lots of jazz & avant garde. Went with option 3 as its probably 50:50 when I think about what I listen to regularly.

While I would not call myself a progger, to answer the kind of question of "Are you mostly into music you consider to be Prog?" then the answer probably would be no.   I listen to a lot of music that I loosely consider to be under a prog umbrella and as prog related but don't consider to be prog-as-genre-proper. Even with the music I listen to in PA Prog categories, a great amount of it many don't consider to be truly Prog -- I might be more ambivalent on that matter. I think of Prog as lacking clear boundaries anyway, and am not that interested in classifying music I like as Prog or not these days (I have thought mostly about Prog classifications when it has come to work I have done here, and even then it was more about thinking about the particular categories PA utilises).

I do still listen to a lot of music included in PA's Prog categories, as well as a lot that isn't on PA at all. Most is Prog related by my standards and an awful lot of it could be considered progressive if not really Prog (genre). I'll vote non-Progger per the OP.

I can't really say... over the past 15 years, I have listened to a great of Classical and switch between the two, like I have some sort of split personality... but if I listen to non-Classical, then it tends to be Prog or Prog-related rock or metal...

On balance I am a progger. Prog was the first music I discovered for myself, and it still accounts for much of my listening pleasure. Like many others, though, my musical taste knows few boundaries.

A progger. Mostly interested in prog, especially if you include proto and related stuff as defined on this website.

All in all I'd say I listen to bands and artists represented in these archives about 30% of the time. More than half of those 30% is spent on music no one in the real world would assosiate with prog (Mwandishi, Can, Electric Miles, Kraftwerk, Pearls Before Swine, Terje Rypdal...). Not a progger - not a non-progger either.

Does this have anything to do with Frogger?

That's me as well.

I love prog but it is a narrow view--there is a lot of it I really don't like. I love jazz both instrumental and vocal--Jobim and other Brazilian jazz--and some classic rock--David Crosby---and female composer singers like Joni Mitchell. But I also will listen to Beck and Linkin Park.Shocked

Though I'm really into prog, I'm also into classical, jazz, world music, etc. so certainly, I can't really say.

I only chose progger because prog is my favorite not because it's the only thing I listen to (which it certainly is not).

I listen to too much music from a large swathe of genres to be considered just a "progger".

So now we get a voice...

I said progger due to that genre being high on my go to listen list. I didn't think "I can't really say' was appropriate because I can say. But over all I just like GOOD music. Sometimes it's pop sometimes it rock sometimes it's jazz sometimes it's prog. Ok, a lot of times it's prog.
Thank you for supporting independently produced music
